50, Calthorpe Street

No. 50 Calthorpe Street is a shop that forms the end of a terrace on a corner site, built around 1842 to 1848 by W Broder. The building features painted stucco with rusticated pilaster strips and is a single storey designed in the form of a lodge. It has two bays facing Calthorpe Road and Phoenix Place, with a bowed corner. The pilaster strips support a continuous dentil entablature adorned with wreaths above the strips, and there is a continuous blocking course that breaks forward above the strips. Although the shop doorways and windows have been altered, the left-hand window still retains a cast-iron palmette and anthemion frieze. The return to Phoenix Place features an architraved two-pane sash window on the left and a 20th-century doorway. The interior has not been inspected.
